Package: ferm
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: normal

The manpage is incomplete about migration from previous versions of
ferm. Running my old ferm script, ferm said about option automod:
The 'option' keyword is deprecated

And the manpage says nothing about it. So I disabled the statement and
everything broke, because now you have to prefix rules with mod
<module>, and there is no non-deprecated substitute for automod.

Also (and this is a wishlist), migration could be automated, I think.
